make sure the holes are not blocked, and if necessary use a pin to clean.

Descaling
The appliance has to be descaled regularly, otherwise the coffee taste will become bad and the
scale deposited inside in the machine may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the
machine. The frequency depends on the water hardness and the brewing frequency. Generally,
the descaling should be done in the following periodicity:
- With soft water, at least once every 2 months.
- With hard water, at least once every month.
In case of doubting to the water hardness, ask advice of your local tap water company.
Alternatively it is advisable to descale the appliance after 200 cups of coffee have been made.
If you begin to notice an increase in the brewing time, or there is excessive steaming, or a build-
up of white deposits on the surface of the boiler outlet, you have to descale. We recommend
purchasing a specifi c descaling for descaling espresso machines.
It is recommended to use only specifi c liquid descaler suitable for espresso machine, and read
carefully the instructions on its package or user manual before use.
NOTE:
1) In case of using solid descaler, make sure the descaler dissolves into cold water fully before
pouring into the water tank.
2) Never use a descaler based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid,
sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These descalers may damage your machine.
1. Mix adequate descaler with cold water in a measuring jug as per its instructions. Fill the
water tank up to the Max level with the prepared descaling solution. Then put the water tank
back into the machine.
2. Make sure the fi lter holder is not attached and put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml
under the boiler outlet to collect the descaling solution.
3. Press down the On/Off button and wait until the ready light glows.
4. Press down the coffee/hot water button and allow half the solution to fl ow out, seriatim
release the coffee/hot water button and the On/Off button to the off position to stop the fl ow.
5. Leave the machine to rest for 15 minutes, then seriatim press down the On/Off button and
the coffee/hot water button until the water tank is empty.
